This patent was just granted:SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING FOREFOOT WEDGE ANGLE TO CORRECT PRONATION/SUPINATION
Systems and methods for forming a forefoot wedge insert are described for a piece of footwear, such as but not limited to ice skating boots, for correcting a pronation and/or supination condition wherein the insert permits the subtalar joint of the affected foot to be placed and/or maintained in a neutral position. In this manner, the insert can provide the corrected foot with adequate balance relative to the skate blade during typical ice skating maneuvers
